An old warrior says it appears to be the regional air plane that crashed at the Pearson International Airport in Toronto on Monday suffered the failure of the main landing equipment during the vertical speed approach and solid landing.
The pilot, who transported a CRJ aircraft throughout North America for years, has shared his evaluation with Global News after watching videos of the final approach of the plane before collapsing several times.
Global news is not determined because it is not authorized to publicly comment on aviation accidents.
Of the 76 travelers and four crew members on board, 21 people, including a child, were wounded, after the CRJ-900 was overturned on the airport runway after crashing.
Videos for the last moments before the fiery collision began on social media on Tuesday.
A 44-second video clip showing YouTube shows the final approach to Bombardier CRJ-900, which was filmed from a place on the right side of the plane somewhere at Pearson International Airport.
The veteran pilot said this video appears to be showing the flight crew, which is carrying out a very difficult decline for unclear reasons.
“He is flying very quickly. The question is why,” the pilot said.
No “illuminated” on the landing
The pilot said that the video in 12 seconds does not seem to show the flight crew making a flying maneuver known as “A Flare” before landing.

The pilots perform the glow by putting the nose of the aircraft to the top. This slows down the plane to reduce the vertical speed of the plane when it touchs and rolls on the runway to the station.
The plane will always distort a small amount when the front edge slices are activated on the wings to land, but the pilot said that he does not see a completely visual glow of the pilot slowing the plane.
Get national news
As for the news that affects Canada and around the world, he participated in the urgent news alerts that were delivered directly when it occurs.
The pilot said: “Do not see the nose of the aircraft floating up for a second or two seconds before it goes bankrupt.” “The question is: Why did the vertical speed not decrease? Where was the glow?”
The pilots suggested that the pilots wrestled with the strong winds at the time.
It is possible that the primary goal of the Delta pilot is to stay in the middle of the runway, and the ignition would become a secondary problem because it was caught by storms.
Rowment of breakdown equipment
Since the plane was traveling quickly and it seems that it was not slowed due to the glow before landing, the video appears in 17-18 seconds what happened after that: it seems that the correct main landing equipment has collapsed under the burden of rapid and rapid landing.

The video displays the right wing and then hit the ground at a high speed as the aircraft discharged the runway.
The pilot said that in 20-21 seconds, it appears that the right wing had been stopped after that.
The passengers who survived the accident also talked about a very hard landing before the plane lost the control and turned.
However, the left wing of the plane remained sound at first.

“The right wing is broken, but the left wing is sound as it is walking quickly enough to produce lifting and still wants to fly. This is when the plane turns upside down due to the imbalance.”
It seems that the right wing on the Delta Crj-900 has been cut and went from a 21-second video frame, and the plane broke out to the fire.

What has saved the life of the passengers?
The pilot says that the wing that is cut off off the CRJ-900 during the accident was landed and he saved the plane that actually turned up the lives of 76 passengers.
Here’s the reason: fuel from a tank inside the scissible wing was quickly poured into the airport runway instead of hunting the fire as part of a larger fire that would quickly overcome the passengers, and the crew had stayed on the right side.
CRJ can carry about 18,000 flights of flying fuel (10,000 liters) – about 4000 lb -lits and 7,000 pounds in tanks in each suite. By the time the plane lands, there may be between 4000 to 6000 pounds.

The veteran pilot suggested that the pilots in regional airlines are among the most difficult flyers at work and may not have been wrong.
There are two black box in Bombardier CRJ-900 and the contents should be answered on the main questions.
One of them picks up flight data. The other picks up communications between pilots and spoken contacts with an airport traffic controller.
The pilot added that the black boxes should be in good condition because the fuselage is intact and that the investigators of flights have regained them quickly and they may have already started analyzing their contents.
The Canada Transportation Council in the incident, with the assistance of its American counterpart, is achieving the National Transportation Safety Council.
